Electronic Composer

I was reminded today, watching a BBC documentary on sound synthesisers, that I once designed a series of "electronic composers". The aim was to get as much "music" out of as few components as possible. The most famous of them (or notorious) was the Raucous Alarm that I did for Silicon Chip magazine (pictured). This played 20 million tunes -- in tune. I named it the Random Doorbell. Silicon Chip unkindly renamed it the Raucous Alarm. OBSERVATION: I came up with the idea when a Church member's state-of-the-art doorbell began to tire me with a mere eight random tunes.
